LOTD 11/11 & a deal!

Mornin' everyone :o) As I sit here at the computer, I'm looking out the window at the leafless trees, the gray morning sky, the frost covering the car, and I can't help but realize that winter is on its way. Where I live, you never know if it's going to be a white winter or just really stinkin' cold and icy! As I was browsing Mel's gallery for layouts to choose for LOTD, this beautiful winter scene, created by lauramarie, grabbed my attention -

(Layout created using Mel's new collab kit with Jeanette Bollinger, Rosy Cheeks.)

I think the monochromatic color scheme with a pop of green from the snowflakes is just stunning, the window photo frame is perfect for her wonderful photo, and the elements she chose are spot on. It's a clean and simple design but she captures a beautiful winter scene perfectly. Well done, lauramarie! Be sure to leave her some love for Winter Fun here.

The next page I chose is a layout by CT member raynedrops (Rayne), called Precious -

As a mother of 3, pictures of my babies feet are definitely precious and treasured keepsakes. We all know how fast children grow and before you know it, their feet are not as little and as precious as they once were. I love this b&w photo and how it pops off the page, her beautiful cluster, the layered papers, the way the ribbon falls off the page and her simple but accurate title. Rayne's layout gives me a lump in my throat because my own boys are just sprouting up right before my eyes. This layout reminds me to stop and truly cherish the time I have with my children while they are still young and I hope it does you too. Thank you, Rayne! Be sure to leave her some love here.

A little about me.......

I am a mom of two beautiful little girls. Scrapping is a great way for me to relax and preserve memories of my little ones. I started designing and opened my first official store in January 2009 and have been hooked ever since. I teach 6th grade Reading and English and love it. Working with sixth graders is so much fun. They have so much personality. Hope you enjoy the blog! I have now retired from designing but am spending lots of time doing my first love, scrapping!!!
